Ayumi Hamasaki X Namie Amuro

[jbrat2219]

^ Good thing it doesn't pain Namie since she's been to Ayu's shows a few times.

I don't know anything technical about singing to tell who's better than who but they both sound fine to me.

[JackieRos]

Ayu and Namie I don't see it really.

They have different styles of music, ayu is popish and namie is hip popish.

It'll be cool though I guess.

[adantatu2]

A collab just with namie is really interesting, namie made interesting collaborations in the past, and

a collab between the 3 avex divas is a really nice idea, i can imagine that !!

[MemorialAddress]

EW GOD no, I would never want this to happen. Not only would it be horror for my ears, but it would also just be... I don't know. All around awful.
I'm pretty sure if this ever happens, it'll be the first ever Amuro song that I don't like

britney would be so embarassed in that case, and namie would be so embarassed in ayu case.

yeah, go ahead and hate me lol, this is ayu forum after all.

Comparing Namie & Ayu as Britney Spears & MIMI, seriously dun u feel embarassed about ur own odd comparison? At least comparing them with two ppl who have the same age pls, Mariah Carey > Brit 10 years old LEVEL, while Ayu is even 1 year younger than Namie dear. Gosh~

[sesshy]

I can see a nice modeling duo from Rocky Raven's picture? But I'm having a hard time seeing them collab in a song. I love both of them and it would be interesting to see the outcome. I don't know for me. ^^;

[PoetGirl]

I meant in artistic sense, Namie is just like 'docta docta' or 'copy that copy that'
and ayu is not that kind of artist, namie is basically like japanese britney spears
'gimme gimme more gimme more'. Thats what I meant with that. Not vocally (lol no)

[Miku]

AyuxNamie
AyuxKumi
AyuxAmi Suzuki
AyuxGackt

it should be awesome

[Chibi-Chan]

I love Ayu and I like Namie, but doing a collab together wouldn't be a good idea, I think. Their music is way to different and I don't think their voices would match.

By the way, technically Ayu may not be the best singer. I watched Namies BEST FICTION and Play tour and her vocals weren't god at all. Both ladies aren't the best singers in the world. But being technically a good singer isn't what matters the most for their fans. And to be honest, I prefer the sound of Ayu's voice a hundred times over those voices of people who are called great singers. And of course you may find that Namie is a better singer and that you prefer her voice. But to say "I have vocal training and know it better than you all" really causes me to laugh because it's a really dump way of trolling.

And yeah, I know that Ayu IS the BEST singer in the world because I have a record deal.

Gotta be the dumbest thing I ever herd, considering how Ayu is always compared to Britney, madonna, etc etc

No more words to say to u, guess that judging a book by its cover is ur style of seeing thing.
~ Read the lyrics of Doctor pls before u judge it as britney spears type of song. http://megchan.com/lyrics/index.php?...muro_Namie/Dr.
The way u see an artist makes me feel sorry for u, seriously~

[NintendoHTF1242]

PoetGirl, you can't judge an entire Namie song based on the English lyrics. That logic just, omg no words.

[Minttulatte]

Namie's songs have very deep lyrics even though she doesn't write them herself. She's not singing about doctors and gimme mores all the time. :<

//And because there'll be artist bashing in these kind of threads at some point anyway, I've never started any kind of threads like this. They're always locked or end up being in the trash can lol. XD

Dr. was a bad example as that song actually has very interesting lyrics. I guess Hide & Seek, Sexy Girl, Want Me Want Me and other songs like that would be a better example. She has her share of nice lyrics and the majority of her songs with some exceptions are well written regardless if they are actually worth something or not. Anyways regardless of that, lyrically Ayu beats Namie anytime, the same way Namie beats Ayu at dancing and no matter how you look at it Namie's music is way more mainstream than Ayu's so PoetGirl isn't totally off.

[thatstacey]

I don't think Namie and Ayu's styles would mesh well, but I also don't think that would stop me from buying all three editions of their collaborative single.

I have to disagree here...

Namie sings a lot about sex, but even if that's very common in western pop, it's also something very different for a female pop singer to do in Japan...

Even some of her most upbeat tracks have some very interesting statments... in the end of the day, it's on Wild that she says that "japanese people don't think hard", what isn't by any means something safe to say on a pop song, but totally makes sense for her considering some stuff she went through...

Not genius lyrics (still, if we are going in that direction, Hikki would be my weapon of choice ), but far from being your everyday generic jpop

[ren0210989]

am i the only person who thinks Namie can't really dance? :/
don't get me wrong... she does the choreography and knows the movements but... that's all... she's so stiff and has absolutely no groove at all...
i only like some of her songs... idk she always sounds like she's bored to me :/
but i like her anyways, i'm not bashing or anything just stating my opinion here.

i just can't see her and ayu 2gether in a song...
but a 3sum with kuu would be something i'd be eager to see but i think that would turn out bad too xD

[MemorialAddress]

I can't believe anyone would compare Amuro to Britney... they are NOTHING alike. Amuro actually sings live, dances (even if it is a little boring), has meaningful songs (sometimes hehe) and then you look at Britney who rarely sings live, "dances" aka ...I don't even know, but you definitely can't call what she does dancing anymore
Two totally different artists who do not deserve to be compared just because they're both pop singers.

[Andrenekoi]

Namie danced more back in the 90s/early 00s, but she also lip-synched to some songs... Her coreographies are simpler now, but she sings the whole thing live...

And Britney is singing live on this tour... from 40% to 80% of it depending on the source...
